RICHMOND, Va, April lat, 1SS7.-Tbe
bill which passed the House authorizing the
Board of Public Works to release to the city
of Alexandria 1920 shares of the stock of the
Alexandria Canal Company came up in the
Senate this aftertoon and evoked spirited
discussion in which Senators Meredith, Hea-
ton and Berry participated. Senator Mere
dith made vigorous effort 10 secure the
engrossment of the bill but the opposition
of Senators Heaton and Berry resulted in
the bill being referred to committee. The
vote upon its reference was IS to 16. Sena.
tor Meredith took the ground that Senators
Heaton and Berry were but placing the
Commonwealth of Virginia in the position
of the dog in the maDger, that the stock
could be of no value to the State but would
be of much service to the city Of Alexandria.
l asked Senator Meredith this afternoon II
the reference of the bill to committee
meant its defeat He said he thought not,
but on the other hand hoped that he could
be able to secure its passage when it comes
back from the committee.
The cablegram from the bondholders re-
ceived to-day has had the effect of bright

hand. Mr.. VIM. L. Royal, the counsel for
the foreign bondholders, and Mr.. James P.
Cooper, of London, were at the capitol to-
day, when subjects bearing upon the debt
question were being discussed. Mr.. Cooper
is sort of advance representative of the
foreign bondbolders, and will have voice

years business died out, the merchants
sought other marts, the stream on which
the town stands was filled with mud unit
it was only little creek, and hardly half 6
dozen houses were left to mark the spot
but since the war it has made fresh star
aad is now again chartered town.

POSTMASTER GENERAL Villas. in letter
to correspondent, says he reappointed a
postmaster in Massachusetts. Objectionable

was Union soldier, and, though republi'

not good to the democratic party, that de-
termines the appointment of postmasters
